Checking on my blog, noticed it was snowing!  So had to change theme of the main page in a big hurry… This is my grand-doggie’s gift.  His name is Baxter Brown, who has his own page on Facebook.  He was number one on my list.  So easy to please and I know how excited heContinue reading “Snowing on my blog…so have to change theme in a big hurry…”

This is what greets me when I come into my kingdom…some of my books, a picture of my lovely daughter and her husband, and a sense of gratitude because I made it back home safe and happy to be in this place, and at this time in my life. I am such a fortunate woman…theContinue reading “Thankful for my small, grand and very significant blessings…”

While visiting with family in South Florida, we made a stop along the way back, and when I saw this sign, it reminded me that in our family of three we used to always say, “follow the signs, the signs are your friend.”  That was also what Milagros told me when we visited Paris, andContinue reading “Signs are your friend…”

One of the definitions of crush is…”short-lived infatuation.”  Yep, it happened already.  No longer infatuated…I have recovered my common sense, the peace and freedom of my mindset.  I feel like a new woman…again. “We” were like two ships that crossed their paths in the middle of the night…and we sailed away from each other without knowingContinue reading “Now you crush…Now you don’t…”

My life…fall is here…needed to change the decor…light up the fireplace…wait a moment…I don’t have a fireplace.  Maybe it is in my far, far distant future…like when I go to visit heaven and come back as the most beautiful baby girl ever!  Yes, girls have more fun. What about the title?  Yes, I must confess,Continue reading “Fall…in love…out of love…back in love…again…back and forth…”

What a good life I have…this is my breathtaking-so-Southern- view when I go for my daily walk around 7:30 am every day…well…except Sundays. Today was laundry, languages, and then I decided to learn how to make a movie with pictures in my files.  The movie so far is only around 17 seconds…with music added, yes,Continue reading “Feeling so groovy…”

Talking with one of my best friends recently,  we were conversing, again, about becoming Medicare babes. For those of you that are not inhabitants of the United States, the Medicare word is associated with having reached the tender, lovely and mature age of 65.  There is plenty to talk about, analyze, etc.  You get the drift. IContinue reading “Mind says “35”…Body says “Medicare Babe””

This morning while taking my now sweaty-and warm-walk, I met a neighbor who happened to be taking her morning walk also. Inevitably, we started talking about our issues and challenges…and then at the end of our casual meeting, she said…”I feel better about my life after having met you.” Wow! You pray for moments likeContinue reading “Significant moments in my life…”

Needed to change picture and posting, so I decided to show all of you my worldwide fans how I look on a recent photo taken at the Eastern Market, in Washington D.C. Hair looks decent, compared to another recent picture of me, that looks as if I just rolled out of bed.  I don’t knowContinue reading “Ego trip…”

Let explain…my sister and brother-in-law, Raylene and Richard,  were visiting Florida just a day ago, and we went on an adventure to the Gulf Coast.   We had a fabulous fun time…ate greasy food, lots of eggs, scrambled and sunny side up…home fries, pancakes, fruits (only Raylene ate the healthy stuff),  and a coffee that smelledContinue reading “Meeting Jesus in my skinny jeans…”
